I’ve been saying for some time that the change in American attitudes toward privacy and liberty since the September 11 attacks has been disconcerting at best.  The USA Patriot Act began us on a road which, should we fail to turn away from the direction we’re now moving in, will eventually lead to a true police state.  I’m apparently not the only one who’s noticed this.  I was thrilled to find this article on the Internet a few days ago and truly believe it’s important to share.  Please take a moment to read it before we intentionally, or through inaction, give away more of our rights and find ourselves in the police state we’ve always feared.
